Chapter 127 Hanging from the southeast branch, beaming with joy
"Let the old man die?"
Xu Jingzong jumped up in an instant, and just wanted to drink hard, Bao Dong said: "Here is Xiao Jia's letter." ”
"Take it, no, put it on the table, and the old man will take it himself." Xu Jingzong pointed to the door vigilantly and motioned for Bao Dong to retreat outside.
Bao Dong smiled bitterly, "It's just for you to fake your death." ”
Xu Jingzong shook his head, Bao Dong reluctantly retreated, and watched him take the letter.
In the letter, Master Jia greeted Lao Xu's body cordially, and finally scolded him for being stupid and cute, and he was cheated.
However, Jia Ping'an did not complain that he was implicated, let alone say a word about being punished for Lao Xu's risk.
Xu Jingzong looked at the familiar handwriting and sniffed.
In the end, Jia Ping'an said his plan......
Xu Jingzong raised his head, "Okay, the old man knows, and he will do it immediately." ”
Bao Dong went out, but only hid on the side.
Master Jia explained: Lao Xu is good, but he is afraid that his scalp will be cold.
Bao Dong didn't understand what it meant to have a cold scalp, but Jia Ping'an's explanation remembered it very clearly.
Staring at him.
Inside, Xu Jingzong was writing a suicide note.
After the suicide note was written, he made a piece of silk, hung it laboriously on the beam, and then stood on a stool.
The satin was knotted, and after testing it a few times, the length was just right for the chin.
Ahem!
Xu Jingzong coughed a few times, felt that his throat was good, and kicked the stool hard.
He placed a cup on the stool, which would make a crisp sound when it landed, and the servants not far away would naturally come to check it.
The old man's arrangement was foolish.
Xu Jingzong kicked on his feet and felt slippery......
The stool didn't fall over, and it moved about half a step parallel with the cup.
Xu Jingzong's feet were suspended in the air, and the person was hung up.
Giggle......
He clutched the rope helplessly with both hands and kicked under his feet.
Old man...... The old man is resting!
Bao Dong outside waited and found that there was no movement, so he remembered Jia Ping'an's words.
"Xu Gong is slow, if he hesitates, remember to remind and urge him."
Bao Dong thought about it, then went over again and pushed the door open a gap.
The legs are dangling back and forth in front of the eyes.
Bao Dong: "......"
I didn't let you die!
When he saw Lao Xu struggling, he wanted to rescue him.
Good boy, come and save the old man.
Xu Jingzong couldn't hold it anymore.
But Bao Dong kicked the stool over, the cup fell to the ground and shattered, turned around and ran.
Come back......
"Alang, what's wrong?"
A servant woman came muttering.
She walked to the door and saw Xu Jingzong, who was hanging from the southeast branch, and couldn't help screaming.
"Someone!"
Go and save Lao Xu first! Even if you hug your thighs! Bao Dong, who was hiding in the corner, wanted to die.
Fortunately, a few servants rushed to hear the noise, and hurriedly carried the thighs of the thighs, and the knives of the people who were looking for the knives......
"Ah Lang hanged!"
The shouts were high-pitched.
When Bao Dong saw Lao Xu being relieved to breathe, he knew that the problem was not a big problem, and quietly retreated.
……
There was a discussion in the court.
This year's harvest is not bad, and the eldest grandson Wuji feels that this is God's favor for the Tang Dynasty, and it is also God's favor for the first emperor.
He looked at the emperor with deep eyes, thinking that many people in the small circle had been muttering recently, saying that the emperor was a little arrogant.
"Your Majesty!"
The waiter came outside, Wang Zhongliang went over, and when he came back, his steps were very fast.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong committed suicide."
Li Zhi was still smiling, but his back was tense.
A wave of sadness and loss hit my heart.
Can't I keep my henchmen after all?
"Fortunately, I was saved by my family."
"Let the Medic go right away!" Li Zhi blurted out, gasping hard.
This time he didn't hide it.
Eyes turned, and the prime ministers were blank.
The medic sped away.
Later, he came back and said, "Xu Zhijun has a wound to his throat, and the strangulation marks are not shallow. ”
This is the real self-hanging southeast branch.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong is afraid that he will not commit suicide in fear of sin, right?"
"It's possible, this person is cunning, and he should be imprisoned immediately."
Li Zhi sat at the top and watched the courtiers impeach Xu Jingzong.
And Jia Ping'an......
"Your Majesty, Xuanzang's side is ready, saying that he will accept Jia Ping'an as a disciple, and then take him to devote himself to cultivation."
A sigh of relief was evident in the hall.
That broom star is finally getting out.
Outside the palace gates, an official staggered along.
When he got closer, he said in a deep voice: "Please also tell Your Majesty, Wailang Ma Cheng, a member of the household department...... There is something important to ask to see Your Majesty. ”
Messages go in.
"Come along."
Ma Cheng followed him into the palace and went all the way to the outside of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Ma Cheng is here."
Li Zhi was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, if it weren't for the basic qualities of being an emperor, he would have scolded the ministers at this moment. He frowned, "Let him come." ”
Ma Cheng knelt down when he came in.
What does that mean?
Li Zhigang wanted to ask, but Ma Cheng raised his head, "Your Majesty, minister...... Failed Your Majesty, Your Minister...... There are more than 2,000 cases of corruption, and the crime should be ...... Ten thousand deaths! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji turned back in a gaffe.
Chu Suiliang turned back in a gaffe......
The sound of the joints of the bones is densely sounded.
It is unknown how many corrupt officials there are, but they have never seen an official who turned himself in after corruption.
The only explanation is that the fact that this person is corrupt is exposed.
Ma Cheng bowed his head and kowtowed, "The minister is reporting...... The ministers reported the officials, and the king Tao of the household department was corrupt for more than 3,000 times, and the ministers have recorded it, and every minister has a record......"
Bang!
The hall seemed to reverberate with thunder.
Li Zhi said in disbelief: "You report Wang Tao? ”
Ma Cheng nodded, "Yes, since two years ago, Wang Tao has been cheating with his ministers in and out, and he has conspired with officials in three state capitals to be corrupt......"
Another duty of the division is to set the amount of taxes to be paid by the states for the following year.
If there is collusion between the household department and local officials, this quota can be raised or lowered, and there is too much room for operation.
"The accountant has brought it."
Ma Cheng took out the accounts, which was the final blow.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Chu Suiliang, and Chu Suiliang's eyes were full of surprise.
Taking down Xu Jingzong and driving away the broom star is already a certainty. But at this critical time, Ma Cheng suddenly turned himself in and reported Wang Tao.
That's not right!
Ma Cheng's corruption seems to be a certainty, but why did he turn himself in?
That's not right!
Chu Suiliang saw a cold glint in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji.
This is someone manipulating!
Li Zhi was in a very high mood at the moment, and after the ups and downs, he felt a little dizzy.
Ma Cheng continued to confess, "Wang Tao and his ministers were corrupt together, and once boasted to his ministers after drinking, saying that his corrupt money was well hidden. He rented a quiet room in Xiangyun Temple in Daye Fang all year round, and went there once a month, and every time he carried a little money, he hid it in it, and if he wanted to use the money, he went to the temple to worship a Buddha......"
"Take Wang Tao!"
Li Zhi only felt that there was a bright light in front of him, and his mood was excited. But there was something strange about it, and he had to ask, "Why did you turn yourself in?" ”
Ma Cheng was stunned, "The minister thinks of Your Majesty...... Grace. ”
What kind of kindness, it's okay to coax ghosts, but none of the people present believe it.
Li Zhi's eyes turned cold, "My question, don't lie a word, otherwise you will be severely punished!" ”
Ma Cheng secretly complained in his heart, but at this moment he had no way out. After secretly cursing Jia Ping'an for giving birth to a son, he chose to confess.
"The people of the hundred horsemen found evidence of corruption in the ministers......"
In an instant, a line of reasoning came out.
From the moment Xu Jingzong and Jia Ping'an were grounded, Baiqi launched an operation.
They knew that they couldn't start with Wang Tao, so they thought of the corruption line.
If Wang Tao is corrupt, then Ma Cheng can't know anything, so he ......
"How did they find out?"
As a famous general, Li Tao is more interested in such means.
Ma Cheng said: "They checked the minister's other business, as well as the minister's wife and brother's other business, and finally found the money. ”
……
Pingkang Fang at the moment.
On the carriage, Jia Ping'an, who had red lips and white teeth, smiled at Chen Ling, "I forgot to introduce myself, a certain one comes from Baiqi, Baiqi Paperwork, Jia Ping'an." ”
Chen Ling, who was looking forward to raising little fresh meat, changed color and said: "Broom star!" ”
"Yes!"
Jia Ping'an pressed her shoulder, "Ma Cheng has already entered the palace and surrendered at this moment, he has been corrupt for more than 2,000 times, and he has to be disposed of, you ...... Shape up or ship out. ”
He got out of the carriage.
Chen Ling is a woman with good means, and getting out is not a problem.
Bao Dong asked wonderingly: "You didn't sleep with her, why did you let her go?" ”
Jia Ping'an watched the carriage leave in a hurry, and sighed: "Man, what is a man?" ”
Bao Dong waited for his self-questioning and self-answering.
"If she takes advantage of her, then give her a chance, as for whether she can seize it, it depends on her own ability."
"You spy!" Bao Dong was a little envious of Master Jia's methods of coaxing women.
"Actually...... I want to be a good person. ”
……
In the middle of the court, Wang Tao has been brought in.
As soon as he saw Ma Cheng, his legs instantly weakened.
Li Zhi sneered: "Xu Jingzong impeached you for corruption, but everyone vouched for you, saying that you are as honest as water." Wang Tao, Ma Cheng is here today, what crime should you be guilty of! ”
The eldest grandson is unscrupulous.
Those courtiers who impeached Xu Jingzong and Jia Ping'an...... Some people are indifferent, and some people are ashamed.
How loud they shouted at the beginning, how humiliating they are now.
The face was smacked.
When he saw Ma Cheng, Wang Tao already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Ma Cheng and he are grasshoppers on a rope, one is reported, and the other is unlucky.
This is the reason why some corruption cases are prone to nest cases as soon as they are investigated, because if one person is left behind, there is a risk of being discovered.
One of these two people is in charge of entering and one is out of the division, but if anything is wrong, the other will be discovered.
Ma Cheng glanced at Wang Tao, "Your Majesty, his money is hidden in Xiangyun Temple." ”
Poof!
Wang Tao knelt down and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and the others in despair, hoping that someone would come and pull him.
Li Zhi only felt that the recent depression had dissipated, and ordered: "Let Shao Peng come." ”
He felt that his henchmen had been doing very well lately.
Shao Peng came later, and when he saw Wang Tao and Ma Cheng, he couldn't help but secretly praise Xiao Jia's methods.
"This is a good job." The original hundred horsemen were lifeless, what could they do, and they took the first place. As soon as Li Zhi saw that it was inappropriate, he prepared to expand the organization and turn the hundred cavalry into an army.
But now it seems that the hundred horsemen have made great achievements and should be retained.
He glanced at his uncle and felt that the small circle had been too aggressive recently, and he had to press it. And the good news of Baiqi is undoubtedly the best tool for suppression, "How did this matter be done, you can tell me." ”
When things came to an end, I asked, this is the meaning of whipping the corpse.
Shao Peng glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, "Your Majesty, after this incident, Jia Ping'an sent a message at home, saying that the Du Branch Division must settle the account as soon as it enters and exits, and if Wang Tao is corrupt, Ma Cheng will definitely not be better......"
"Is it him?" Li Zhi remembered the boy.
"He said that Ma Cheng would not dare to put the stolen money at home, and the possibility of another business was the greatest, so Bai rode to search for Ma Cheng's other business in Changle Fang, but did not find ......"
Wouldn't that be a broken thread?
Even if the matter came to light, Li Zhi still had many puzzles about the subtleties of this case.
Li Tao squinted slightly, feeling that Ma Cheng was afraid that he was the same as Wang Tao, hiding the money in an unknown place.
"Your Majesty, later Jia Ping'an suggested checking the house of Ma Cheng's relatives, and after checking it, he found Ma Cheng's wife and brother......"
Shao Peng remembered the process of Master Jia's use of beautiful men, and couldn't help but feel that the days without eggs were very melancholy.
Yu Zhining frowned and said, "What about Ma Cheng's brother-in-law?" ”
"Little officer."
Where can a young man afford such a house? Everyone present understood.
Yu Zhining also suddenly realized, "This is Ma Cheng bought a house and recorded it in the name of his wife and brother, and his own family hid the stolen money in it, so no one cares, a good method." ”
There are not many corrupt officials in Datang at the moment, and they have little experience in such methods.
"Jia Ping'an is so meticulous and ......" Li Tao did not hesitate to canvass for Master Jia, "It's really a good means." ”
Li Zhi said with a smile: "At the beginning, I felt that he was easy to be used by people under the name of his broom star, so I put it in Baiqi, who knew that he would make many achievements, which made me quite surprised." ”
At this time, I need to praise it, but Lao Xu is not there, and Li Tao doesn't like to bubble......
Shao Peng gritted his teeth and took out a document, "Your Majesty, Xu Yuanjun is still lying at home!" The slave maid met Xu Yuanjun's family on the way, and asked the slave and maid to bring a suicide note. ”
This matter is a bit taboo, but at this moment, the emperor has won a big victory, and he is afraid of Mao.
Li Zhi's face was solemn, "Read!" ”
Wang Zhongliang took the suicide note and read it aloud.
The general meaning of the suicide note is: I want my old Xu to be loyal all his life, and he is not ambiguous for His Majesty to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, even if he is an axe and a horse, he will not retreat, but the minister can't bear the slander and framing, and the minister knows that he has brought trouble to His Majesty, and he can only die to prove his innocence.
Lao Xu's writing is undoubtedly good, and a suicide note is touching and tear-jerking.
Wang Zhongliang choked up, "The slave couldn't help but cry when she read it." ”
Li Zhi looked at the prime ministers and said lightly: "Xu Jingzong is loyal, what do you think?" ”
Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”
Those who impeached Xu Jingzong turned red at the moment, and they were extremely embarrassed.
The emperor deliberately gave them small shoes to wear.
But if it's wrong, it's wrong, and the principle of standing up when beaten is common throughout ancient and modern times.
"All the ministers are scattered." Li Zhi was in a happy mood and just wanted to go to the harem to distribute it. But when he thought of Wang and Xiao, his interest plummeted. Then those long sideburns slid through my mind.
The crowd dispersed, and Li Zhi left Shao Peng behind.
"That's a good job."
For his henchmen, Li Zhi always praises him.
Shao Peng's face was strange, wondering if he should tell the emperor about it.
"Huh?" Li Zhi found out about his melancholy and snorted coldly.
Shao Peng sighed in his heart, "Your Majesty, this matter ...... The slave is guilty. ”
He fell to his knees.
"Tell me." Li Zhi was in a relaxed mood and picked up the jade pendant to play with.
"Jia Ping'an went in and out of the moral workshop in private, and the ministers were not strictly guarded, and he was guilty."
Master Jia's grounding order has become an ornament under the cover of a hundred horsemen!
But Li Zhi is in a good mood now, so he just waved his hand.
Shao Peng's heart was relieved, "Jia Ping'an learned that Ma Cheng favored his concubine Chen Ling, so he pretended to meet by chance and communicated several times, then Chen Ling inadvertently said about Changle Fang, and then found a clue." ”
Li Zhi was stunned with the jade pendant.
"You mean...... Did he use a beautiful man's trick? Li Zhi felt that the three views had been refreshed.
Shao Peng nodded, "Yes." ”
Li Zhi couldn't help but cover his forehead, "This broom star is like this...... At the beginning, I asked him to be in Baiqi just to watch closely, but who knew that he would become more and more capable. If it weren't for him, Xu Jingzong would definitely be unable to escape, and I would have one less henchman by my side, and the situation would be even more difficult. ”
Oh, yes!
Even Wang Zhongliang felt that Jia Ping'an could be called the mainstay this time.
Li Zhi was pondering, he thought of Wu Mei's evaluation of Jia Ping'an, so he bowed his head and said: "Among the hundred horses, how many are like Jia Ping'an?" ”
If there were more people like Jia Ping'an in the hundred horses, some of his plans would be able to be implemented.
Shao Peng was ashamed, "Your Majesty, a hundred horses are like Jia Ping'an...... Not a single one. ”
Li Zhi's voice was colder: "In other words, most of the hundred horses are mediocre?" ”
Shao Peng nodded, and Li Zhi was a little annoyed, "Jia Ping'an and a young man can stand out from the crowd in a hundred horses, it can be seen that you are slacking off on weekdays, go back to practice!" ”
"Yes!"
Shao Peng went out and caught up with the prime ministers on the road.
Li Tao dragged himself behind, and at first glance he was isolated.
The eldest grandson Wuji was surrounded by everyone, and his momentum was extraordinary.
Chu Suiliang couldn't hide his disappointment, "Auxiliary, this time it will be a failure, and it will be difficult to get Xu Jingzong next time." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said lightly: "The person in charge is stupid!" I didn't expect to put away my hands and clean things up. How stupid must it be to dig a hole by yourself and take the lead, but in the end it was easily broken by a paperwork? Stupid! ”
His face was as usual, but his words were very heavy, which showed that he was in a very bad mood.
Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath and asked, "Who is in charge?" ”
Silent.
"What can't you say?" The eldest grandson Wuji was annoyed, "Who is it?" ”
Chu Suiliang blushed and said in a low voice: "It's the old man." ”
……
Jia Ping'an was liberated.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Rong was standing outside, and he arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Jia Wenwen." ”
"You're welcome." This time Jia Ping'an was grounded, Jiang Rong was not strictly guarded, and his performance was good, Jia Ping'an felt the need to give a piece of candy, "Please also ask Jiang Fangzheng to go to Xu Yuanjun's house and tell Xu Yuanjun that it is very good, let him rest assured." ”
The pawn brought by Jiang Rong was stunned, and felt that Jia Ping'an had treated Jiang Rong as a servant too much.
"I'll go right away."
But Jiang Rong was overjoyed, turned around and left.
Fang Pawn followed up and asked, "Fang Zheng, this is the errand business, why are you so happy?" ”
Jiang Rong said excitedly: "You know a fart, I went to Xu Yuanjun's house to spread a message, this is to get acquainted with Xu Yuanjun, and I have to give a certain face when I go back to Chang'an County!" Hahahaha! ”
For Jiang Rong, an official fan, it is the happiest thing to be able to go to a high-ranking official's house.
The door next door opened, and Wang Dazhui came out and arched his hand: "Congratulations." ”
"Sledgehammer!" Jia Ping'an smiled: "Don't cook at home in the afternoon." ”
This time, the Wang family provided a springboard for Master Jia to climb over the wall to avoid supervision, which was very righteous.
"Okay."
Yang Deli was excited, and he was ready to spend money lavishly for the first time, which made him a little fluttery.
But before he rode a horse to buy, Liu Jia came with someone.
"Broom God ......"
I haven't seen my broom god for a long time, which makes Liu Jia can't help but redden.
Jia Ping'an covered his forehead, "Datang doesn't have a broom god." ”
"There are drops." Liu Jia said happily: "I was overjoyed to learn that the broom god had cleared up the grievances, so I brought some people and prepared some wine and food to celebrate the broom god." ”
"I have a heart." In the past, Jia Ping'an always liked to calculate the efforts of both parties, but later he gradually learned that many times it is a good thing to be unclear.
The cousin who had no task knelt in front of his aunt's tablet and happily reported his work, and the people brought by Liu Jia were busy preparing wine and food......
Outside, those who were highly respected in the moral workshop were invited. Jacky Wang looked at this scene and sighed: "Beaming! ”

The third update in five rows!
